Khalil Shakir News
Saturday, October 10, 11:56 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir finally had a productive afternoon against New England, catching seven of eight targets for 82 yards after totaling just eight receptions for 94 yards over the first three games. He also lost a fumble, but the increased involvement was encouraging. Now Buffalo heads into Monday without Joshua Palmer, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, while DJ Moore is questionable with his own shoulder issue. That leaves Shakir with a potentially larger role in the passing game, although Keon Coleman is also coming off a 116-yard performance. The Rams have been one of the NFL's toughest defenses against the pass, so there isn't much room to assume another big game. Shakir is WR36 in RotoBaller's Saturday rankings and offers flex appeal in PPR formats, particularly if Moore cannot play.

Matthew Golden News
Friday, October 9, 2:49 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden caught three of seven targets for 21 yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay. He now has 18 receptions for 274 yards and two touchdowns on 37 targets through four games. Despite the drop in yardage, Golden scored for the second consecutive week. Following a 12-target performance against Atlanta, his seven targets tied Tucker Kraft for the team lead. Chicago has held opponents below 200 passing yards per game and allowed only four passing touchdowns through four games, giving Golden a tougher test as he looks to score for a third straight week. Golden continues to see regular targets alongside Christian Watson and has established himself as a consistent part of Jordan Love's passing game. RotoBaller ranks Golden WR18 for Week 5, making him a solid WR2/WR3 start.
